MEGATHREAD: Requested Hairstyles & Facial Hair

I would love Lyse and Hilda's hairstyles. More variants and nothing similar to other hairstyles already provided. I'd love a few really long hairstyles and some nice ponytails and up-do's like a French twist, flapper faux bob, topknot, traditional nihongami, french braid, side bun, warrior bun, and more black hairstyles that move away from cartoonish looking.
And more hairstyles that are tucked behind the left ear and not the right - since most solo earrings are on the left ear.

Also, Hythlodaeus and Hades unsundered variants.

Someone posted in the liveletter 2022 for yoshi-p to hopefully address some of these things if you would like to support:

It would be nice, thank you for posting this!

Hythlodaeus & kriles hair
Or just more up-do's & sidebraids-
Longer hairstyles with Bangs

After seeing many of the beautiful Hairstyles in Lost Ark- I want a hairstyle like this to exist in FFXIV without the use of mods

So, me personally, I wouldn't mind more long hairstyles where the hair was pulled forward, like the existing "hime cut"? Better yet, make variants! Would help avoid clipping quite a bit, especially with all the high collars!

I really would love more messy and unkept hairstyles. I hate that I can only make my character look clean and proper when I just want them to look little gritty and tired.

This is the kind of hairstyles I want to see in game :)

From a lore pov I own some of the ones from the mogstation and I simply think of it as people in the game sharing it with me or my character taking inspiration.
When I was playing NG+ for EW for example I bought Lyse's Stormblood outfit for SHB and in the narrative I thought of it as a parting gift.

I think it makes sense and there's no real reason anymore why races can't have access to all of it.

This has always been such an odd reason to have the hairstyles be locked the way they are. Like, it would be one thing if the game or ancillary lore material called attention to it as being an in-world thing. "People of the X race are often seen with Y hairstyle because..." etc... But no. I have yet to find any sort of text that indicates Y or Z has to be locked to X race because it is culturally relevant to said race.

I'd rather just have new hairstyles altogether instead of more old hairstyles being wider access.
Mind you, I'd much prefer the cake & to eat it too- and get both completely newly designed hairstyles inspired by many of the ones posted here as well as other races having further access to the old hairstyles. But realistically, people get inspired from each other in many ways, fashion being one of the most influential ways- so, I don't see a reason why other races wouldn't have the same hairstyles or similar to

It is odd, especially when like Yugiri for example with her very long twin tails hair- it's so darn cute & realistically other people would find it cute. These folks then become inspired & copy it in various ways because that's how fashion works. So, you'd see people growing their hair out or just styling it very similarly to Yugiri.
Same goes with Gaia- and I'm bringing up NPCs with their distinct hair because it would be copied by other people wanting something very similar

As goes with other hairstyles as mentioned!

Yeah, some of the Lost Ark hair selection is pretty nice. So far, my main, and now my (first) alt, both have very long flowing styles. :cool:

More hairstyles that have bangs for female character

Don't most of them already have bangs though...?

Yes~ but alot of the placement of bangs isn't great or could be designed better
Mostly I'd like to see bangs swooped to the side across the forehead like this instead of in ffxiv, the bangs are all bunched up in the front or split in the middle and it leaves alot to be desired
I know with limitations the hairs won't be as majestic as they are in lost ark but they can still look nice

The clipping is actually far worse in Lost Ark lol.
If the hair even reaches the neck it's basically going to be a clipping nightmare with a lot of gear xD.

At least FFXIV and Lost Ark ain't a horror show with female hair like most Western games.
I feel like in most Western games nowadays they just design some really REALLY basic hair for male characters then throw it unto the female characters.

Exactly! You hit the nail on the head.
I was surprised to see something so different as to what lost ark has available because I'm so used to really basic & boring hairstyles
I'm actually okay with clipping so long as the hair looks good- if the hair gets the point across & looks good I'm sold

The problem with clipping hair is not easy to fix. Either they implement physically correct hair. This would be the solution with the best results. But it would require a serious game engine upgrade and it would require way more processing power. Or they implement multiple versions of a hairstyle, which do not clip. The game engine would choose the correct hairstyle depending on the clothes of a player. This solution would be cheaper and propably not require game engine updates.


Cheers

With many pieces, yeah, but I might as well use the very long ones if even some of the shorter lengths are going to clip. :p

There is already so much clipping in this game. It should be down to player choice. It is so odd to me when SE has certain selective instances of quality control, such as with viera and longer hairs. I already glamour around my character's hair, as I have been using this au ra hair for a very long time - pretty much the only au ra hair I use.

As someone who has played DCUO and PSO2(NGS), which involves plenty of hair clipping, I'm not that bothered with hair clipping unless it's to "Is this even rigged correctly" levels. Just give us the waist/calf-length hair options already and let us decide if we want to use them or not.

I'm in the same boat, too. PSO2:NGS just keeps taking up my time as well as a bit of burnout.

Just to keep this on topic, one of my disappointments with the Nier raid was that we never got A2's long hair (We got hair for 2B and 9S, why not her?) and given that it seems to be over (The current collab only seems to be one-sided and it's for the Nier game) it seems that it would never be sadly. We just need more long hairstyles in general.

That's true I never really thought about that.
Tbh tho I probably wouldn't use it due to clipping xD.
But she has a short hairstyle too would've been cool if we got both.

I have also expressed my love for A2's hairstyle and the fact how I hate that we didn't get it. If I had that hair, or any hairstyle in her likeness, I'd be more inclined to get more involved in this game. Butt no. More 2B. It really sucks man.

For real. I don't even wear outfits where clipping would be an issue anyways. Weirdo company.

Please show your support by asking for these things and longer hairstyles in the chat !!

Aside from longer hairstyles, I really wish they'd give us BRIGHT colours.

The only colours available look bleached or washed out (red looks like pink, blue looks dead, purple is not purple). I'd love to have "ruby red" or "dragoon blue" colours available for hairstyles

They didn't even bring it up. All they cared about in the Live Letter was the graphical update and future updates. The only thing hair related that was mentioned was that the Hrothgar will soon no longer need a fantasia to change their hairstyles.

We just have to keep getting this thread upvoted/ posted in with relevant conversation!
it's no worries, there will be many live letters that gives us a chance

+1
More hairstyles!
But most importantly: More variety between them, no repeats!

Some very long hairstyles, more medium length ones, more hair types such as coily & curly for all races and genders that canonically can have them.
Normal fade with no design, undercut, long side swept undercut, military style undercut, medium -length curly hair for men, tucked behind their ears. brushed back hair types.
Hythlodaeus braid.

Windblown hairs and wild fluffy hairs for both Viera genders. Ultra-Long length ponytails (like Fran length), high top knots/buns. Long side braids
Short and neat dreadlocks, dreadlock bun, layered dreadlocks, box braids, microbraids
Maybe a modern and traditional nihongami like shimada-mage or sagegami 下げ髪 for women and a grown out and shaved chon-mage aka: samurai and ronin hair

Obviously this is a long list, but I am just naming all the ones I'd like to see even though I am aware all of these would not be implemented if they were to do so.

I know the artists and design team is very talented, and would love to see what they could do for creating and expanding the hairstyle database. ♥

If they put Seymour's hairstyle into the game it would be hilarious.
